Stop letting him back in the house when he get's "tired". A missed meal or two will have him thinking otherwise.
Praying for his safety

💔 It’s hard not to feel a pit in your stomach every time you see these headlines. No one ever thinks it will happen to their loved ones… until it does. Please check out If I Go Missing — a proactive tool that helps organize critical information before it's ever needed. It could make all the difference one day.
Praying for his safe return. 🙏🙏🙏
